Amanita muscaria
From the amanita family, this mushroom is commonly called false oronge or fly agaric.
It is characterized by its convex cap, then spreading (8 to 20 cm), fleshy, moist or a little viscous, red or orange-red, covered with numerous white or slightly yellowish warts, rarely naked.
The margin is streaked in adults.
Its blades are tight, wide and pot-bellied, free, white or tinged with citrine.
Its almost cylindrical foot, solid, then hollow, smooth, white, swollen at the base in a rounded bulb, is decorated with concentric ridges, white or yellowish-edged rings.
Its white flesh, orange under the cuticle of the cap, has a sweet flavor.
Its white, hyaline, smooth spores are ellipsoidal.
This beautiful species is found in autumn in the woods near conifers and birches.
The false orong should be considered poisonous, although not fatal.
However, in certain regions, it is consumed without accident.
